Podcast Excerpt
Anthony: I guess I’ll start because you had watched this movie before me and you recommended it. You said it was a fun time, and I also had heard about this movie I think at Sundance, or it premiered somewhere, and I remember it receiving a lot of warm responses and attention. I had it in a bullet, like, all right I need to see this movie when it drops. And then I guess at some point it dropped on Hulu, and I just was not aware of it, so thank you for bringing it up because it was seriously high on my list because of all the rave ratings. So that leads me into my initial impressions.

We will get into that light, light spoiler in our final section. We’ll give you a heads up when we do that. But for anyone who’s going into this movie blind, we won’t spoil anything yet. But we will in our review section. Anyway, so my initial impressions: so . . . it was a weird vibe.

But, it’s always with music where you just don’t vibe to it, you know? There’s just something about the sound that just doesn’t click, and it’s not anything specific…
